Im not bothered about Holt, we should be aiming higher, and I believe MoN is aiming higher. So far all this is all just paper talk, and nothing else. MoN might be using this speculation as a smokescrene, who knows I for sure dont. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Norwich are making a desperate attempt to keep striker Grant Holt by offering him a bumper pay rise. The striker handed in a transfer request last week, news which alerted Sunderland and Aston Villa. But the striker - who was tipped for a place in Roy Hodgson's Euro 2012 squad - was called in for showdown talks on Monday. Wants out: Grant Holt handed in a transfer request to Norwich last week And Sportsmail understands the Canaries, who rejected Holt's transfer request, have offered the centre-forward a new three-year deal worth up to £20,000-per-week. Holt is currently the club's top earner on £15,000-per-week and still has two years left to run on his existing deal. But the 31-year-old is keen to be rewarded for his 17 goals this season. Whether or not the club's latest offer is enough to keep Holt remains to be seen. Meanwhile, manager Paul Lambert is understood to be frustrated at his summer transfer budget. After safely guiding the Canaries to Premier League survival, Lambert had hoped to have a larger budget to improve his squad this summer. Eur staying at home: The striker was not picked by Roy Hodgson for England However, it is believed the Scot has been given an identical transfer kitty to last season. And Lambert fears the club will struggle to attract the quality of player that he feels will help them make greater strides next season. Managerless Aston Villa are monitoring Lambert's situation closely as they weigh up an approach for the 42-year-old. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...uge-pay-rise-fend-Sunderland-Aston-Villa.html
Hmmm if we got him I think he could do well but its a deal that could be very bad for us. He'd probably come here and look like Andy Gray did. (not the pundit)
I wouldn't mind him, big, strong but has some teckers about him. He can also finish, and knows where the 6 yard box is - a player we havn't had for a season 1/2
